Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Can I achieve plump big lips without getting duck lips?
Yes!
Nov 29, 2016
Many patients express concern about “duck lips” or excessively large lips after being treated with fillers.

If your lips were treated appropriately, with the goal of enhancing them to better proportion your face then you won’t have this look.

It is also common to have some excess swelling immediately after treatment that lasts up to one week, but this subsides.

Is bruising due to how the fillers are injected? Is there a right way & wrong way to administer the
Bruising is common
Nov 21, 2016
Hi there.

Bruising after receiving injectable treatments are quite common and usually quite minor and self-limited.

There are many reasons for you to bruise including some medications, whether or not you took a painkiller recently, your recent alcohol intake, and just chance; the face is very very vascular and cutting through a small vessel is not uncommon.

I would recommend waiting 1-2 weeks or follow up with your injector if you have a concerned, the bruising is expanding, or there are…

What would you recommend for the circles under my eyes?
Dermal Fillers
Nov 18, 2016
Hello!

The best treatment for the excessive bags under the eyes would be modest dermal filler rejuvenation. These products will allow for the re-volumization of the thin, deflated skin under the eyes.

Adding fillers to re-sculpt your cheekbones will also allow for plumping up the wrinkles around the eyes.

Finally, if there is additional softening needed, then Botox or another neuromodulator can help as well.

19 year old black female. How can I get rid of tear troughs?
Fillers Are Your Best Bet
Nov 16, 2016
The depth and darkness of our tear troughs are caused by several different factors: 1) genetics (if one or both or your parents have deep and dark eye bags); 2) level of fatigue and sleep hygiene; 3) The skin underneath the eyes is particularly thin, and therefore show a lot of darkness due to the large number of blood vessels in the area.

The best option would be to have the depressions under your eyes treated with a modest amount of hyaluronic acid fillers, such as Juvederm or Belotero….

Why are my lips asymmetrical?
Most Faces Are Asymmetrical
Nov 16, 2016
Most of us have asymmetrical faces.

We need to consider both sides of our face “sisters,” and not “twins.” That is, we have subtle imperfections from one side of the face to the next.

Once we begin having cosmetic facial treatments we cannot help but inspect our face far more often than before. We then start to notice the imperfections we’ve always had, but never noticed.

I’d suggest following up with your injector and have them show you before and after photos. Very often, they will be…

Why are my forehead wrinkled asymmetrical now?
Multiple Factors
Nov 15, 2016
Hi there,

Firstly, it is important to wait the full 2 weeks post-treatment to have an idea of exactly which areas were treated and to what extent. From there…

2) You may need additional units in your forehead as your frontalis muscle appears to be quite strong.

3) Finally, the frontalis muscle (the forehead muscle that creates horizontal lines) is large and flat; it is not uncommon to need a touch up to address minor areas of asymmetry.

I would follow up with your injector…
